Main changes:
- Changing the constructor to accept a CHARSET_INFO pointer, instead of an Item pointer
- Updating the bison grammar accordingly
Additional cleanups:
- Simplifying Item_func_set_collation::eq() by reusing Item_func::eq()
- Removing unused binary_keyword
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
This preserves const str for constant strings
Other things
- A few variables where changed from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- Incident_log_event::Incident_log_event and record_incident where
changed to take LEX_CSTRING* as an argument instead of LEX_STRING
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
Storage engine independent support for column compression.
TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT,
VARCHAR and VARBINARY columns can be compressed.
New COMPRESSED column attribute added:
COMPRESSED[=<compression_method>]
System variables added:
column_compression_threshold
column_compression_zlib_level
column_compression_zlib_strategy
column_compression_zlib_wrap
Status variables added:
Column_compressions
Column_decompressions
Limitations:
- the only supported method currently is zlib
- CSV storage engine stores data uncompressed on-disk even if COMPRESSED
attribute is present
- it is not possible to create indexes over compressed columns.
- Added sql/mariadb.h file that should be included first by files in sql
directory, if sql_plugin.h is not used (sql_plugin.h adds SHOW variables
that must be done before my_global.h is included)
- Removed a lot of include my_global.h from include files
- Removed include's of some files that my_global.h automatically includes
- Removed duplicated include's of my_sys.h
- Replaced include my_config.h with my_global.h
1. use Regexp_processor_pcre::set_recursion_limit() to set the
recursion limit depending on the current available stack size
2. make pcre stack frame to be estimated no less than 500 bytes.
sometimes pcre estimates it too low, even though the manual
says 500+16 bytes (it was estimated only 188 for me, actual
frame size was 512).
3. do it for embedded too
tmp variable now points to str->ptr() buffer, not tmp_value buffer.
Comparing pointers otherwise can lead to false assertion errors as we
don't know where buffers are allocated in respect to each other.
Item_func_sysconst behaves as a non-constant function during prepared
statements and view creation and constant otherwise. Current condition
implied the opposite.
